Introduction

A bright potato salad with cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, feta, and a lemon-olive oil-balsamic dressing. Serve with pita wedges.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds potatoes
• 1 green bell pepper, cubed
• 1 cucumber, sliced and quartered
• 2/3 cup sliced red onion
• 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• Generous salt and pepper
• 3 pita breads, cut into wedges

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add whole potatoes; cook until tender but still firm, about 30 minutes. Drain, cool, and slice.
2. In a large bowl, combine cooled potatoes, green pepper, cucumber, red onion, and feta.
3. Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Adjust seasoning. Serve with pita wedges if desired.

Tips

• Salt the cooking water generously for seasoned potatoes; cool before dressing to avoid absorbing too much vinegar at once.
• Taste dressing for balance; add more lemon or salt if needed to lift the feta and veggies.

Optional Additions

• Add olives or fresh herbs (oregano/parsley) if desired.
